In general, a hen's egg color is the same as it's earlobe color.

Q: Are the color of a hen's eggs determined by the color of her earlobes? A: Not exactly, although ear lobe color seems to be related to (not determined by) egg color most of the time. Breeds with white earlobes lay white eggs... except for Penedesencas and Empordanesas, which have white earlobes and lay dark chocolate colored eggs. Chickens with red earlobes lay eggs in shades of brown... except for Easter Eggers, Ameraucanas and Araucanas, which lay blue eggs (usually blue or green in the case of Easter Eggers). Then there is the Silkie, which lays light brown or nearly white eggs; silkie earlobes are blue.

That kind of blew my mind. Chicken are complex creatures. I still wonder if the egg color has any effect on them?
